Hmm, thanks for reporting. It's not something to worry about though, this situation shouldn't produce an error log. "hook failed" means that starting the game or application was canceled because a pre-start check failed.

ProcessCanceled means that it was a "controlled" interruption, not a bug or anything.

 

Since we only have two pre-start checks atm and only one will use ProcessCanceled I can say that you have unsolved file conflicts and Vortex showed a dialog saying that you need to solve them before starting the game/tool. Because resolving file conflicts is necessary this interrupts the start of the application.

Ok thx, solving the conflicts mean, to change the load order ? This I had done. Or is there more to fix? Where i find a detailed log for to understand the conflict? Would be nice to have :-)

I know how to fix conflicts. But for better understanding i need more information about the conflict, like a log when for example running loot and than you can see the log file and this give information what happen.

[Pickysaurus]

A File Conflict is when two or more mods load files with exactly the same names and file paths.

 

Vortex needs to know which of these files to load.

 

A plugin conflict is entirely dependant on LOOT rules or rules you set yourself.

 

What kind of additional information do you feel you need?

[dilldappel]

For example Loot generate in LOOTDebugLog.txt Strings like this:

[15:35:22.422264] [error]: "Vivid WeathersSE.esp" is incompatible with "ELFX - Weathers.esp", but both files are present.

Also FNIS Output missing. The warnings are importend to know, to fix Animation.

Regarding the FNIS message. The warning tells you the reason.

This was just an to show example log message. I mean we don't see this message when Vortex run automatically FNIS and i want just say, make a extra windows where show importent log messages.

[Tannin42]

The error message regarding FNIS was produced before fnis was configured to be run from the staging folder instead of the game directory, that has absolutely nothing to do with file conflicts.

 

Problematic file conflicts (not all conflicts are problematic) will usually manifest themselves in the game loading the incorrect file (e.g. an outdated esp) - the consequence of which are impossible to predict. The game may crash or certain quests may just not work, maybe your savegame breaks which you only find out after another 50 hours of gameplay.

Vortex can't know which effect an unsolved file conflict may have, there is no log to display.

 

But look at it this way: When you use NMM or manually install mods, if you have a file conflict it (NMM or the file manager) will ask you "do you want to overwrite the existing file" and if you've been modding for a while you have seen that dialog a thousand times. This is the exact same choice. Creating a rule "mod b load after mod a" has the exact same effect as installing mod b after mod a and then clicking "overwrite all" when prompted.
